What does it mean to succeed?

Hey all,
    I found this quote in a blog. I recently came across this blog, and havnt yet got time to go through it fully. But this quote was a long term favourite of mine, and it brought back memories…


(”Succeed” by
Jean-Antoine Watteau)

    This quote focuses on what it is to succeed…

To Laugh often and much, to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the
world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED.

—- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82)

    Yep. By Ralph Emerson, and full of meaning. Its very much similar to the poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling which I had posted earlier. Beautiful :)
